News Desk
ISLAMABAD:
The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has officially announced the temporary suspension of operations at its registration centers located within Pakistani diplomatic missions across Saudi Arabia in observance of the kingdom’s upcoming National Day celebrations.
The scheduled closure affects numerous expatriates seeking essential identity documentation services.
According to official notifications issued by the authority, all NADRA executive and standard facilitation desks operating inside the Embassy of Pakistan in Riyadh and the Consulate General in Jeddah will remain non-operational during the designated public holiday.
Citizens residing in the kingdom have been strongly advised to plan their visits accordingly to avoid any inconvenience regarding token collection, card collection, or biometric verification procedures.
The temporary suspension underscores the routine administrative alignments foreign missions undertake to comply with local holiday schedules in host countries.
With millions of Pakistani nationals residing and working in Saudi Arabia forming the largest contributor to the country’s remittance inflow, seamless consular and registration services remain a critical priority for the federal government and relevant state institutions.
Regular operations at all NADRA facilities across Saudi Arabia are scheduled to resume immediately following the conclusion of the national holiday celebrations.
Authorities have urged community members to consult official mission social media channels and helplines for real-time updates regarding service resumption timings and emergency protocols.
